One of the perks of writing for a blog is getting to wander around looking at things and looking for things. So on a sunny day like today it made sense to go for a wander and catch up on a few favourite spots. More of that soon, but it’s funny what you find when you’re thinking of it isn’t it?
Have seen photos of this around before, but stumbled across this for the first time through what can only be described as ‘following your nose’. The paint’s well dry now of course, but it’s funny when you find something on a wall that from a distance just looks likely.
Interesting find too, another surviving old Banksy in Bristol. Down on the end of Stafford Road in St Werburghs, by where it meets Sandbed and Merthsham Roads, it’s a ‘playing it safe’ stencil, like the one up on Pro Cathedral Lane (also still there), only this time in blue. Not sure there were any other blue stencils in Bristol, so a bit of a random one it seems. Probably from back around ’99 or so.
Closer…
…and closer still.
Nice find. Sadly the Banksy ‘Playing it safe’ on Pro Cathedral Lane was power washed off about a week ago along with much of the other stencils on that wall.
Thanks loads for the heads up, blogged with photos now.
